MACHANG: Some 31,790 chairmen and secretaries of the Village Development and Security Committees (JKKKS) and Federal JKKKs (JKKKP) have been asked to come up with a development plan for their respective area.
Rural and Regional Development Deputy Minister Datuk Ahmad Jazlan Yaakub said the federal government may not focus on the areas which fail to come out with the plan.
“The ministry will be implementing development projects under the 11th Malaysia Plan (11MP) according to the submitted plans.
